Is that supposed to somehow make up for his uninspiring play? He did nothing to help this team. He looked GOOD on a few PPs, but that's it. Golden leafs boy didn't make it count on the scoresheet, an all I see is leafs fans praising him everytime he touches the puck.

Atleast he can hit the net.

 

[InjuredChoker]

Congrats US, you were just awesome, well deserved

 

[Canuck21t]

Congrats USA, you were the better team. Team USA was better in every facet of the game . Team Canada played like ****. Slow, imprecise, lazy, bad goaltending and bad coaching.

Go Team USA, I'm behind you!

VICTORY FOR 'MURICAH!!!!

 

[Helpoing]

So, this is Canada's Team B, yes? Because lots of guys weren't released by their NHL teams, right? Or maybe there were many injured key players? There has to be some excuse.

Congratulations USA, this is a very big win.

Does he deserve to be praised? Not really - no one does today.

But it's silly to knock him offensively, he led Canada in points among defensemen and his PP time was limited which I still can't figure out.

I'll remember this game the next time a Canadian poster boasts about how Canada's top end players don't get to play in this tournament because they're usually playing in the NHL.

It was ONE bad game you maroon!

When you catch us in overall championships, then you can chirp.

 

[Jack Bourdain]

Congrats John Gibson, MVP. Shows you how far a good goalie can take you in this tournament.

Next year, get me a captain who actually can lead a team. Bye RNH.

 

[Canucks LB]

get off the ice canada, after that effort

 

[Jabba11]

**** you Ryan Murphy

 

[Cosmojam]

Very impressed by USA.

 

[Whitesnake]

Total domination. Congrats US. Don't see who will stop you now.

 

[Romang67]

Does Gibson have any weakness to his game? He seems like he is gonna be a top 10 goalie in the NHL, if he keeps going. He seems flawless.

Well, in earlier USA GDTs, someone kept saying that he sucked. So I guess he does unfortunately...

 

[JackSlater]

Congratulations to team USA for what has been a good old fashioned ass kicking. They were definitely a class above Canada today. Canada's issues throughout the whole tournament, mainly struggling to maintain possession in the offensive zone and transition effectively out of the defensive zone, all became tremendously apparent. I guess there were bigger things to worry about than the lack of light...

There is no shame in losing to a quality team, but it is indeed shameful to play so poorly. This has definitely been the worst performance in a single game by Canada at this tournament since 1998.

 

[canucksfan]

Absolutely dominated by a better team.

 

[Captain Bowie]

We don't even care about this tournament.




*bang*

*thud*

 

[legendinblue]

Awesome game from the US. Gratz.

 

[Alerion]

Who do they even give our player of the game to?

 

[QnebO]

Good thing for Canadians is that they know that they lost for very good team.. So maybe even in Canada, then it aint that big fiasco to be in bronze game.

 

[saintflannel]

Congrats America. Make North America proud.

 

[ThePsychicSaw]

i predicted 5-0. and it should have been 5-0 . gibson deserved that shutout

 

[sepHF]

From relegation last year to the gold medal game this year... nice turn around! Congrats to the US.

 

[Sean Garrity]

Simply put, USA was better. Did the King RNH even play? **** you Canada.

 

[TriFF51]

The new hockey superpower has emerged!
